AN INVITATION TO DAVID GREENFIELD TO CLEAR HIS NAME

This weekend, the print edition of City & State,
a publication that’s read and respected by all elected officials, published a
disturbing story about the website YeshivaWorldNews and its political
commentator Dov Gordon. City & State revealed that Mr. Gordon, who
has praised NYC Councilman David Greenfield in the most glowing terms for three
years, is, according to several sources close to the Councilman, none other
than David Greenfield himself.

Councilman Greenfield refused to speak with City &
State regarding this matter. Instead, he issued a statement through a spokesperson
denying the allegations and attacking the witnesses, which included his former
chief of staff and campaign manager.

On Saturday evening, on my radio show, I invited Councilman
Greenfield to come on my show to clear up this matter once and for all. If he
is not connected to the “Dov Gordon” Back Room Deals column that has been
responsible for endless character assassination upon not only myself but other
elected officials; if he is not behind three years of endless adoration ad nauseam regarding his own performance
as an elected official, then Councilman Greenfield should have no problem
discussing these charges brought by City & State and his former
staff members. If it is actually someone else paying YeshivaWorldNews to attack
community members and organizations, such as Agudath Israel of America, then
David Greenfield should be as eager as I am to bring the truth to light.

David Greenfield has been a guest on my show before. I
reiterate my invitation to do so again. The opportunity to sit and discuss this
matter as our constituents listen in should hold no fear.
